Brief Description of the Prior Art[0005] Hair extensions have been widely used among women. The main reason for using a hair extension varies in each individual case such as a simple decoration for fashion on the user's own hair or to making a partial or full hair supplement to compensate for thinning hair or the like. A great percentage of hair used for extensions is either from a natural source or artificially produced and the supply is usually obtainabl...
